Jean Meslier Quotes

• To claim that the souls of men will be happy or unhappy after the death of the body, is to pretend that man will be able to see without eyes, to hear without ears, to taste without a palate, to smell without a nose, and to feel without hands and without skin. Nations who believe themselves very rational, adopt, nevertheless, such ideas.

• Piensa bien en las razones para creer y no creer, en lo que tu religión te enseña y te exige tan inexorablemente que creas. Estoy convencido de que si sigues de cerca la luz natural de tu espíritu, verás... que todas las religiones del mundo son sólo invenciones humanas y que todo lo que tu religión te enseña y te obliga a creer como sobrenatural y divino es en el fondo sólo error, mentira, ilusión y superchería.

• To discover the true principles of morality, men have no need of theology, of revelation, or of gods. They need but common sense. They have only to look within themselves, to reflect upon their own nature, to consult their obvious interests, to consider the object of society and of each of the members who compose it, and they will easily understand that virtue is an advantage, and that vice is an injury to beings of the species.
